Description:
Construction of three new buildings totalling 225,000 sq and the renovation ofan existing burn building (known as building #2), including landscaping. This projects goal was to upgrade the facilities for the FDNY to adequately meet current sophisticated training requirements. The work was sequenced so as not to disrupt current training programs. The buildings are steel and concrete framed, masonry and curtain-wall and metal panel exteriors with aluminum entrances, pile foundations, fluid applied roofing and contain elevators.
Building #5, the new "burn" building, is a three story structure containing smoke and fire simulators.
Building #11 is a new four story school structure, which contains a reception area, locker rooms, bathrooms, a cafeteria, a boiler room, six classrooms, weight training room and elevator.
Building #12 is a six story superstructure field house to be used for training. It is basically two buildings connected by a sloped, cantilevered canopy which forms an atrium between the buildings and rises to a height of over sixty feet. It contains a "streetscape" to replicate the appearance of a fire scene at a typical city street.
